We are proud to share our new guest blog with Groundwork Ohio for National Breastfeeding Month.

"Breastfeeding Support Is Public Health Infrastructure" tells the story behind The Nursing Nest and the accessibility gap we are working to solve. Families should not have to leave an event simply because their baby needs to eat, be changed or have a quiet moment.

The Nursing Nest is also more than a physical space. Our team staffs and operates our infant care areas so families have support available and event organizers do not have to build and manage an infant care program on their own. We see opportunities for this work to go much further.

We are working toward a mobile infant care unit. We are exploring a separate maternal accessibility program for music festivals and longer events. In the future, we also want to explore nursing spaces in more public areas so families can be supported.

They are different programs, but they all come back to the same idea: families with babies should be considered in the places where life happens.

Thank you to Groundwork Ohio for giving us the opportunity to bring this conversation to a larger policy audience.

During National Breastfeeding Month this August, The Nursing Nest’s Paige Sunnenberg shares why supporting families means creating spaces where they can feed, care for their babies and participate in community life.

We are proud to welcome Nationwide Children’s Hospital as a Founding Sponsor of The Nursing Nest. 💛

Their support during our very first season means so much to us. As a new nonprofit, having an organization like Nationwide Children’s believe in this work early helps us grow our impact and continue bringing infant care access into more community spaces.

We are grateful to have the support of an organization that does so much for children and families across Central Ohio.

This sponsorship is helping us build a stronger foundation for The Nursing Nest and reach more families who deserve to feel supported and included in their communities.

Thank you, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, for investing in our mission and believing in what we are building from the beginning. We are so grateful to have you as a Founding Sponsor.

Reynoldsburg Tomato Festival, what a weekend. 🍅🤎

Even with stormy weather during the festival, severe storms and tornadoes moving through Central Ohio before and after the event, the community still came together to have some fun.

Over the weekend, 40 caregivers visited The Nursing Nest for 44 infant care uses. Families used the space to feed, change, soothe, cool down, and care for their babies while still being able to enjoy the festival.

That is exactly why infant care access is important. Families with babies want to be part of their communities. Having a clean, supportive place to care for their baby can make it easier for them to stay, participate, and enjoy the experience together.

A huge thank you to the City of Reynoldsburg, Ohio- Government for welcoming The Nursing Nest to the Reynoldsburg Tomato Festival and for helping make the event more supportive and accessible for families with infants.

We are so grateful to be part of this community and loved getting to care for Reynoldsburg families throughout the weekend. 🍅🤎
